Chang Sihao couldn't think about it a lot, chased along the river, came out for three or four miles, and saw that there was a ferry boat not far from the shore, so he called the old man over, got on the boat himself, took the Sanhe Lihua in his hand, and let it float with it.

The old man swayed the oars offshore, looked back at the horse in the water, and said with a smile: "Good horse, good horse, Tang Seng learned from the scriptures, it is the white dragon horse that is ridden, and the horse is a dragon species."

Chang Si often urged: "Seeing that the big ship in front of you is gone, hurry up and chase it." ”

The old man squinted his eyes and said, "Ouch, people have sails, and if the wind blows, how can we catch up." Chang Sihao said: "At a glance, you know that you are an old envoy, as long as you hold back your strength, you are afraid that you will not be able to win him." The old man smiled: "You are in this later life, and your speech is very pleasant, well, it is not the old man who boasts, I also have a name and surname on both sides of the river, known as 'Wonton across the river', that is to say, I went into the water for three days, the skin is not wrinkled, the waves are like boiling pots, and people are not sinking, but now I am old, you look at this beard white, how can I still win that victory." Chang Sihao was quite amused when he heard his nickname, and said with a smile: "Then don't come out when you encounter a windy day." The old man raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean, do you mean that the old man is weak and does not stand through the wind?" Chang Sihao smiled: "How dare you, I am thinking: with this beard, you will become a dragon beard ravioli, I am afraid that when you encounter a storm, you will really want to rise up in the river and turn into a dragon." [Xianmo: It's not really a joke, it's a real encouragement, and it adjusts its disobedience to the old,]

The old man laughed when he heard this: "Good boy, you have a clever mouth [Xianmo: don't rub sand in your eyes], and now you are an old man who sells his strength." "Shake up the boat at the moment, strive to catch up, one to go downstream, two to the old man knows the nature of the water, everywhere by the wave flow potential and walk, although not the wind, the speed is not weak, all the way out of dozens of miles, the sky is dark, the wisps of green smoke on both sides of the river, a river sunset is red, the big boat turned over an inlet, I can't see, the old man held his waist and supported his body and said: "No, no, I can't catch up again, or forget it, shake back and be afraid of two hours, the old woman looks at me and comes home late, she will definitely knock over the vinegar jar, and blame me for going to steal with the" little pepper "... ... Oh, you don't know, Little Pepper is my childhood sweetheart......" [Xianmo: Generally speaking, the old man is lonely and has a lot of words, but this old man is not lonely in his old age,]

Chang Sihao thought to himself that these nine don't match eight, where to go, but seeing that there is no hope of catching up, it doesn't matter, and said with a smile: "The vinegar wonton is also very matched." He took out the silver and handed it over, and added, "No need to look for it." The old man was very happy to weigh the silver, and said, "Hey, I'm used to mixing vinegar, but there are no chili peppers, and I don't eat." As he spoke, he shook Xiaozhou aside, [Xianmo: Eating in his mouth, thinking about the pot, there are so many men, and they don't change when they die,]

Chang Sihao took the horse ashore, waved goodbye to him, and watched the old man creak away in the red sunset, and suddenly felt that the back was the eldest grandson Xiaochi, who had aged decades later, [Xianmo: The above gossip, all for this sentence,], looked at it, and unconsciously showed a faint smile on his face, and said: "It's okay, it's okay." [Xian Mo: In the past, Xiao Chang must not have this words, it is to Hainan to see Wu Dao, and meet Ah Yue, the mentality has gradually changed, Zheng Mengzhu hopes that everyone in this world will take responsibility, not to be self-Han, Xiao Chang is deeply affected by this, but the world is contradictory, Zheng Mengzhu's master Xiang Forgetfulness is a typical self-Han, Zheng Mengzhu is still very embarrassed when he recalls, and does not despise the teacher, this is due to thousands of years of cultural tradition, the anti-tone of language and action has no impact on Xiao Chang on the surface, and even no consciousness, but there must be a shadow in the depths of the heart, and when it encounters the flash of thinking, it will outline the outlineThe result is the moral relaxation and forgiveness of this attitude towards life, and the reality of the situation also makes him understand that some things really cannot be changed.

He wiped the saddle and continued to move forward, surrounded by wooded wetlands, the hooves were deep, and the speed could not be raised, and he felt hungry in his stomach while walking, and then he remembered that he had not eaten lunch, and Sanhe Lihua swam for a long time, and at this moment he was also tired, listlessly came out for more than two miles, the sky was completely dark, and suddenly there was a bright color in the distance, and when he looked carefully, it turned out that a bonfire rising on the shore illuminated a small beachhead, and a big boat was docked in the bay not far from the beachhead, and the sail shape was the one he was chasing.

There are a few fallen dead tree trunks by the side of the bonfire, more than a dozen sailors sit on it, grilling fish in front of the bonfire, a tall and fat woman in the middle, born with round shoulders and thick back, square face, comb bangs in front and pigtails in the back, there are more than a dozen pockmarks under the eyes, like sesame seeds sprinkled on the baked cake, the blue cloth on the body is half open, revealing the water-green waist inside, at this moment she sits with her legs apart, her hands are pressed on her knees, and she smiles: " Babies, these Hu monks are tall and weird, and they look bluffing, but they don't think about it, but they are so bad, they really deserve us to make this small fortune. When speaking, a pair of ** who couldn't hold back floated with laughter, white and greasy dazzling eyes, and the voice was even brighter, and several other sailors echoed and smiled, although they were men, they were much shorter than her, and they sat together like children surrounded by adults,

A Fang Hong, whose head was wrapped in a white cloth, said with a smile: "Don't say that these goods are famous swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, and there are not many who can hold up twenty numbers under your sweat medicine." The woman laughed, and a thin man next to her suggested: "Eldest sister, this period of water is urgent, wrapped in zongzi and sinking into the river, it is not good to break the rope and float up, and it is not beautiful to be found by the government, there is no one here, it is better to solve it and bury it on the spot." The woman nodded and beckoned to her men, "Go and carry them out." ”

The sailors promised to go to the boat, and without much effort, they took out the monks and the young man and threw them on the edge of the bonfire, Huo Li Guwen and others tied thick ropes, staggered and crooked, and looked unconscious, but the young man opened his eyes and looked left and right, and the thin man said: "Hey, it's so fucking strange, what did you kid do to be tied up by them, didn't you steal the little ** hidden in his temple." The sailors all laughed, and Fang Hong's face smiled: "This kid's skin is very tender, I'm afraid that if I don't steal it, my own ditch will be topped by others." ”

The young man did not understand what was going on, and shouted in a loud voice of laughter: "You ...... Let me go. ”

The sailors were stunned, and the thin man said: "Sister, this kid speaks in a weird tone, I'm afraid he is not Han." The female thief touched her double chin: "Well, the bridge of the nose is quite high, but it looks like a huizi...... Hey, your baby stole Han clothes, what do you want to do? The young man replied dismissively to her question, and shouted, "Let me go, my ransom will be given to Duoduo." Fang Hongyan understood: "Eldest sister, this kid probably asked us to let him go, and he gave us money to redeem himself." ”

"You old man's ass. The female thief raised the big feet of the boat, and swiped the young man's face with the sole of her shoes embroidered with green cabbage: "Although the old lady is not big with this team, it is also the name of the government, the city is on the list, and the reward is five hundred taels of wanted characters, what do you do with the old lady, the next three indiscriminate abatements of tying tickets and making money, [Xianmo: The ancients had a specialization, strictly abided by the rules, did not tie up tickets to be water thieves, and those who sold wontons did not make noodles. ”

The young man was kicked upside down by her, turned over and sat up again, with a proud face: "You, five hundred taels, I, five thousand taels." ”

Fang Hong's eyes turned round when he heard this: "Eldest sister, this kid's bounty is actually ten times that of yours." The sailors next to him glanced at each other, and they all became excited, and a fat man said: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, let's, we, let's take him to the official invitation, please, please, please reward it." ”

"Fart. The female thief scolded: "What are we doing, we didn't get a reward at the government, and I was arrested first." The thin man approached and said, "Eldest sister, I don't think he meant that, he probably meant that, let's let him go, and he will give us five thousand taels." ”

All the sailors looked at each other together, the young man couldn't help nodding, Fang Hongyan stretched out his hand, counted his five fingers, and was a little excited: "Eldest sister, this business is done." The female thief felt strange, pushed him away, came to the young man's side, bent down and stretched her neck to look up and down: "Who is your baby, and where is your home?" The young man looked slightly stunned, avoided her gaze and stopped talking, and the female thief's head was closer, and her two nostrils seemed to be wider than her eyes: "If you don't say it, how can we ask for money." ”

She leaned forward, and the two huge ** swayed forward, making the young man uncomfortable, rubbing his buttocks and flashing back, thinking about it, and said: "The address sues me, go back, the money is sent, the credit is there, it must be." The fat man next to him said happily: "Okay, I, I, our old, old, old nest in, in, in, in the ......" The female thief turned her head back and gave him a slap: "Shut up, Dong'er Dang'er's [no memory] [Xianmo: This author's original note, is a dialect in the Yibin region], can you tell people casually." Fang Hong's face also rolled his eyes, and he snorted: "Fortunately, it's a stammering ......" Seeing the eldest sister's head glaring, she swallowed the next sentence, [Xianmo: Don't expose the shortcomings of scolding, this woman is not protecting her brother-in-law, she is private, and she can actually uphold justice,]

The thief turned around, pulled out a short branch with a thick yolk from the fire, and compared the red-hot tip forward: "Baby, if you don't tell the truth, you will have to suffer some hardships in front of you." Unexpectedly, when the young man saw this posture, he became angry and said, "If you don't do business, forget it." "Tilt your head and don't say anything more," the old man is a ball, and the turtle baby is still called a donkey. The female thief raised her eyebrows, and the two sailors next to her came over and took off the young man's clothes: "Boy, look at our eldest sister to add something for you." The female thief poked the fire stick forward, and the young man screamed, and the green smoke rose from his chest, and a smell of burnt skin spread out.

The sailors laughed, the young man gritted his teeth, and the beads of sweat on his forehead dripped down.

When the tip of the fire stick was withdrawn, the tip was flattened, and the young man's chest had a round black burn mark, which looked like an areola, and the female thief saw that he endured it, but she admired it a little, and raised her big finger: "Good baby, you are young, but you have a lot of strength, and if the old lady tortures you again, you will not be considered a heroine." He glanced to the side: "You come." Fang Hongyan pointed to his nose, with an inquiring expression on his face, seeing her staring, he knew that he was bored again, and muttered: "You count me as not, I'm a bastard......" went to the fire and smoked a red-headed firewood branch, shook his eyebrows and eyes at the young man, and said: "Is it to open your eyes, or to extinguish the lamp." ”

The young man felt that the heat in front of him was scorching, and he knew that it was over, but he still refused to give in, closed his eyes tightly, and suddenly heard the sound of the wind in his ears, and someone said "ouch", followed by something to the ground, when he opened his eyes, it was firewood that fell to the ground, Fang Hong's face was holding his wrist and draining blood was retreating, and there was a majestic black-faced man in front of him, holding a sword in his right hand, his left arm stretched out, and his big hand was open, pinching the neck of the female thief's head,

Fang Hong's face shouted as he retreated: "Surround him, don't let him run away." ”

The sailors drew their blades and gathered around, and Fang Hongface shouted: "Cut him, cut him." ”

Chang Sihao raised his hand, the female thief's head was huge, her feet were off the ground, her hands were shaving, her blood vessels on her face were thick, like a red fat goose, and the fat meat around her neck was almost squeezed out of her fingers, and she couldn't say a word, the fat man was frightened and numb, and hurriedly threw the knife and said: "Don't, don't, don't, if you have something to say, it's good, good, good, it's easy to say...... [Xianmo: It's still my own relatives]" The others saw that the eldest sister's head was so fat and the body was lifted in this person's hands as if there was nothing, and they didn't dare to step forward for a while [Xianmo: But he didn't throw the knife, the cordiality was obviously not as good as the fat stammer,] , Chang Sihao returned his hand with another sword, picked up the rope on the young man's body, and asked, "How are you." The young man got up from the ground and bowed with one knee on his elbow: "Thank you a lot, I'm fine." ”

Chang Sihao heard that his Chinese was really not very good, so he smiled and said at his feet: "Huo Li National Teacher, don't pretend anymore." ”

Huo Li Guwen opened his eyes when he heard this, although his martial arts are high, the experience of the rivers and lakes is far from enough, the last time he was in Meishan, he was hit by the "Six Yu Drunk Tendon Burning" of the Liucheng Zen Master [Xian Mo: The six dusts of the monks are empty, there are no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, when there are no seven emotions and six desires, there is no desire, where does the depression come from, Huo Li is a national teacher, and the cultivation realm should not be vulgar, but he is fascinated by the "six depressions", his cultivation can be known, and the author's intentions can also be known,], this time he came out to be more careful, and he did not dare to do it on the road [Xianmo: Don't dare is afraid, there is fear, how to be brave and diligent,] Drink soup and water in the store, only buy dry food, after getting on the boat, this is a little relieved, and how do you want to get a few small boats are also people in the green forest, eat dry steamed buns at noon, stay up until the evening, carefully steal a few mouthfuls of camel water, everyone will fall to the ground, but after all, he has deep internal strength, wake up quickly, find that the big rope is entangled, and earn it for a while, so he pretends to faint and waits for the opportunity, but there is a subtle difference in breathing between waking up and sleeping, and he can hide from these thieves, and how can he hide from Chang Sihao, and he doesn't pay attention to it from a distance.

When the young man saw Huo Li Guwen open his eyes, he couldn't help but be shocked, picked up the knife on the ground with a bone, and stabbed him in the throat with his hand.

Huo Li Guwen's body was tied like a spool, his neck was still flexible, and he hurriedly dodged left and right, the young man stabbed twice, but he didn't stab, he was anxious, he raised his hands high, and aimed the tip of the knife at his chest and thrust it hard,

"Cymbals", the knife was not half in, Huo Li Guwen's body bent like an insect, his face was twisted in pain, and he let out a muffled snort, the young man's face was happy, and he suddenly felt that it was wrong, and when he turned the knife, it turned out that only half of the knife was left, and the upper half had been cut off when he was raised, and when he looked back, he saw Chang Sihao swinging his sword and smiling: "What kind of hatred do you have with him, why are you in such a hurry." The young man gritted his teeth and said, "Benefactor, the villain has caught me, and if you want to kill me, you must do it." ”

Chang Sihao smiled and sighed: "Alas, national teacher, you foreign monks like to go around causing disasters and causing resentment, and the six roots [Xianmo: another sentence] are too unquiet, look, what good things have you done to make people angry like this." Huo Li Guwen was stabbed by a broken knife and was very painful, and he also saw that it was Chang Sihao who rescued him, and he was grateful, but as soon as he heard this, he immediately opened his eyes angrily, and shouted: "If you want to kill, you will kill, Hugh has to joke." "[Xianmo: What is the use of dignity, why do you keep supporting it, the great monk's cultivation is still shallow,]

Chang Sihao complained: "Alas, the national teacher and me, there is a fate, I remember that when I was on the Jianmen plank road, I almost fell into the deep cliff, it was the national teacher who took a small hand, which saved my life, and then I accidentally fell into the hands of a group of Confucian students, and was almost burned to death in public, and you pulled me out of the fire pit, and now the national teacher is trapped here, if I sit on the wall and watch, laughing at you, then how can I be considered a person." ”

He said the opposite everywhere, meaning that if you want to kill you, you will not be rescued twice, Huo Li Guwen can understand it, a camel face is getting longer and longer, the complexion is blue and red, and he lives like a foreign chicken, and the nation that he dislikes the most in his life is called a Fanbang barbarian who does not understand etiquette, so he always leads by example everywhere, treats people and things, tries to maintain a dignified demeanor, and pays more attention to fairness and credibility when doing things, does not occupy people, does not owe people, but now he really owes Chang Sihao two favors, this lai is dead or alive can not be resisted,

The young man looked at Chang Sihao, and then at Huo Li Guwen, but his face showed embarrassment, thought about it, and resolutely threw the knife in his hand, and said: "He is my benefactor, you are a benefactor, kill you, the benefactor can't stand it." He came over and loosened the tie for Huo Li Guwen, and said: "Let you be a benefactor, between you, clear, if you want to arrest me, you can do whatever you want." As he spoke, he straightened his chest, [Xianmo: When there is a scar in the middle, just to dry, let you see the backbone,]

Huoli Guwen stood up, covered the red felt on his body, and said proudly: "Although the little monk is a foreigner, he also knows books and etiquette, the prince is so generous, how can I do it to the prince again." ”

Chang Sihao was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Lord, who, where is the prince." ”

Huo Li Guwen bent down and cut the rope, woke up the few Hu monks who were traveling with him, knowing that this time he owed Chang Sihao a favor, more and more, I don't know when he will be able to pay it back, he sighed, slightly depressed, turned around and said: "Hou Ye, three life-saving graces, the little monk remembers it, and reports after the map, let's ......"

At this moment, someone shouted: "Here, Huoli Guwen, can you still go this time." ”
